The teenager has yet to feature in a matchday squad for Chelsea this season under new manager Maurizio Sarri. However, he was afforded game time in the first team last campaign by previous head coach Antonio Conte.

Ampadu joined from Exeter City last summer and was given his Blues debut in the third round of the Carabao Cup in the 5-1 win against Nottingham Forest last September.

Despite his display in midfield for Wales, he has actually played more games at centre-back at club level, but his composure on the ball may see him get more game time further up the pitch.
